When this spell is in effect, the caster's touch causes any single human, dwarf, gnome, half-elf, or halfling to become rigid for 3-8 (1d6 +2) rounds unless the victim makes a successful saving throw vs. paralyzation. Additionally, the paralyzed victim exudes a carrion stench in a 10-foot radius that causes retching and nausea. Those within this area who fail to save vs. poison will make their attacks with a -2 penalty until the spell reaches the end of its duration.
The material component for this spell is a small scrap of cloth taken from the clothing of a ghoul or a pinch of earth from a ghoul's lair.
Notes: Restricted to necromancers; uncommon.
